Meet Us

Artistic Director/ Founder: Jared WhitfordJared Whitford, is Studio 570’s founder and artistic director. Born and raised in Williamsport, Jared left town to study theater in Pittsburgh. After finishing school he wanted to return to his hometown, because he saw a need for this company in the region. Studio 570 will be drawing from his experiences working at theaters such as the historic Pittsburgh Playhouse, the Straz Center, and most Recently PARK Productions. Jared is excited to share all his ever growing knowledge with a new, or should we say familiar set of people.

“Daily I look toward my peers and mentors to challenge myself to grow as an artist. Never living inside the confinement of a box of right or wrong, but instead always looking for my next inspiration for a new adventure,”Jared Whitford, Artistic Director.​BoardEmily BowenNick FisherEmery FoxAshley LarsonBecca Slocum​Elizabeth Snow​Nancy Reiff​Krista Rogers​Stef WeltyRyan Workman
